Obstructive sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder, which can lead to life-threatening consequences if left untreated. At Atrium Cosmetic and Family Dentistry, we can treat
90640 sleep apnea with customized oral appliance therapy. Our experienced dentist and staff deliver effective, personalized treatment to improve your overall health and quality of life.
A full night of uninterrupted sleep is vital to your sense of well-being; if you suffer from obstructive sleep apnea, it may be difficult to get the rest you need. Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the muscles at the back of the throat collapse during sleep, blocking your airway and making it difficult to breathe. To accurately diagnose this condition, your doctor will need to perform a sleep study to evaluate your full range of symptoms while you’re at rest. Heavy snoring, pausing or ceasing to breathe, gasping for air and waking up abruptly are some of the most common symptoms of sleep apnea. Because sleep apnea interrupts your sleep cycle, you may also experience daytime symptoms such as headache, fatigue and difficulty concentrating. To treat some cases of sleep apnea, your physician may recommend a CPAP machine, which supplies continuous pressure through a mask worn over your nose to keep your airway open. For mild to moderate cases of obstructive sleep apnea, our customized,
90630 sleep apnea appliance provides effective care. The appliance fits over your top and bottom teeth, like a retainer, keeping your jaw open in a slightly forward position so that air can easily pass through. Our 90630 sleep apnea appliances are comfortable, portable and easy to clean. We will instruct you on how to properly wear and care for your appliance, for the most effective results.
At Atrium Cosmetic and Family Dentistry, we provide advanced oral appliance therapy for
90630 sleep apnea, helping you breathe easier and sleep better. Throughout your course of care, we keep you informed and at ease, addressing any question you may have regarding treatment. To learn more about sleep apnea or to schedule an appointment, call today.
